"Default" Math Vs "Legacy"?

Dude, Cumofogabriel... Take a chill pill.
This is a COMMUNITY forum. The intent here is to ask for help, with respect, and a community of peers will offer logical productive no-drama solutions.

--Yes some folks from Hexagon are also on here, but with the attitude you are putting forth....
This niche industry seems to be very capable of red-flagging inappropriate unprofessional, or simply non-productive behaviors of people.
it's just a matter of time if you keep this demeanor. Not a threat, but a word of caution.

Thanks for making that point louisd and well said. As you point out, part of this forums key guidelines are...

Show Courtesy and Respect to the Other Members​

I would say the OP has violated all three and we would be well with our rights to ban them - it almost seems like they are asking to be banned.
